lyrics

Our land is girt by fear, almost as deep as the holes we dig.
Great empty scars where the waugal once lived.
And our horizon is a high-rise, no longer carnaby’s.
You can bring your horse to water, but there is nothing left to drink.

“We burn our crops as our hearts bleed ruin. Death she dances, bounding with sick glee. As the atmosphere reflects a heavy cadence and I look forward with a savage heart. The sky turns a deep blood red, the clouds they clamber like bile; leaking, leaking, leaking, towards the parched earth it’s leaking. I fall to my knees…”

Why!? What have we done!?
Anger wells in my core
To slice the face from this vapid world.
Why!? What have we done.
This earth is burning now,
there’s nowhere left to run,
nowhere left to hide,
what have we done?
There’s nothing left.
This earth is burning now,
there’s nowhere left to run,
nowhere left to hide,
what have we done?
There’s nothing left.
There’s nothing left.
“We sow the seeds nothing will grow. The water’s rising to my nose. I take a breath and end this life, to our ruin and to our strife. I breathe this dirt, I suffocate, a final moment of dying glee. I fall to my knees, this earth is burning now, there’s nothing left, I end this life.
There’s nothing left!
I kill myself!
I kill myself!
I kill myself!
